Race called in our favor earlier this hour, last check 53-47%. If you fear experiencing campaign withdrawal there is always the hotly contested new special for the House seat he is vacating.
Please share widely!
Reality-based commentary on politics.
Congratulations to Senator Markey! We now have one of the most impressive delegations in Washington, Massachusetts! Also kudos to State Senator Wendy Davis whose filibuster efforts against the fairly regressive anti-abortion bill in Texas have lit up across social media. She has far more balls than the average Washington Democrat (including the one in the White House!)
The cheers from Malden and Austin will help drown out the cheers I am still hearing in Chicago….
Makes the pavement pounding and door knocking worthwhile – and we “machine” people even got a shout-out from GG in his concession speech!
Gomez was pummeled, this was his best chance. No way he’d ever get that close in a regular election. Just an awful candidate. This should have been at worst a 5 point race.
I saw a BlueMassGrouper, a Markey donor who drove all the way to Wellesley to attend a fund-raiser, holding a Markey sign in Wayland’s intersection near their library, and his fellow Wayland Democratic Town Committee members straight South in the other intersection near the restaurant we hold monthly meetings in also held Markey signs. I held a Markey sign the legal bunch of the steps away from the Sudbury Town Hall and polling place. Gabe had no sign holders in Sudbury (which is a great military town).
Sudbury and Framingham had good voter turnout.
I encoded some language barriers on our dialer’s radio button. Russian, Chinese and Vietnamese constitute language barriers for me that could get patched for a few senior citizens on our call lists in the future.
My barbarizing Spanish succeeded. “Votacion” means election, amigos, and “Martes” means Tuesday.
Edward J. Markey is a strong candidate. He voted for our Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and sponsored legislation standing up to BP Oil. Markey opposes the Keystone XL Pipeline. Congratulations to Senator-Elect Markey.
Gabe’s hatred of the number thirty-seven on his television and web ads only reminded voters of our Bruins Center Patrice Bergeron’s jersey number. It made Gomez rhyme with Aaron Hernandez. Otra vez would not promise a better election for the politicizing OPSEC mis-education cadre.
I thank Wade Blackman. Blackman day-in, day-out was in charge of our volunteer office in Framingham, which drew in volunteers even from Wayland, Ashland and his own Natick. Blackman received a bunch of help from volunteers such as Anne and Democratic State Committee member Shulman, whose hardware we got to use.
Thanks to my fellow parishioner Dave who gave furniture to Blackman’s volunteer headquarters. Thanks to Barbara for lending her refrigerator. Electric fans and a cooler was great, too. Slammer was a great canvasser.
Richard Gomez and Selena Gomez are each better than the Republican. “I, I, I love you like a love song, baby.”
When I read yesterday that Obama is waffling on approving Keystone Pipeline and now wants the USA to shoulder the worlds burden by limiting carbon output, I said that’s it, and voted for Gomez.
To add insult to injury, we have an amnesty bill that will incentivize employers to hire newly registered provisional immigrants (currently illegals today) over Americans, b/c they are not eligible for Obamacare until they become US citizens. Thus, employers can avoid the Obamacare fine of $3,000 simply by hiring these new documented workers over an American.
Sen Cruz discovered this loophole, let’s hope Sen Markey is more like Ted Cruz in this regard, and actually reads the bills before voting on them. For some reason, I don’t think Sen Markey cares, but he can prove me wrong, for once.
“under Obamacare, businesses with over 50 workers that employ American citizens without offering them qualifying health insurance could be subject to fines of up to $3,000 per worker. But because newly legalized immigrants wouldn’t be eligible for subsidies on the Obamacare exchanges until after they become citizens – at least 13 years under the Senate bill – businesses could avoid such fines by hiring the new immigrants instead.”

That this crap is why you people keep losing?
Plus what does voting in this race have to do with an executive decision on Keystone? You’re just looking for excuses to rile us up and go against the progressive Dem, and frankly I question your continued loyalty to Lynch had he won the primary. You are the definition of a troll, which while used a lot by some, is an accusation you rarely will hear from me.
with Keystone. It’s all about Trent Lott’s love child with Paula Deen.
stop holding my breath: Dan ended up voting for Gomez.
(I was turning blue).
and Ted Cruz all wrapped up in one post. Oh boy.

…I am hearing that comment in your voice, which is rather amusing in a good way!:)
“If you fear experiencing campaign withdrawal there is always the hotly contested new special for the House seat he is vacating.”
Unless your city is running what are turning out to be exciting and hawt local races! (I suppose you could qualify Boston for that, too.)
For me municipal races are by definition less exciting. My own activity level will go way down.
You should be hella excited! We have exciting candidates this year!!
We have some strong candidates and this is nothing against any of them. I’m just more interested in state and federal politics in general.
The saddest part of Election Night was watching local media try to shard to reassure itself that this was a close race and that Gomez was a rising star in the party. NECN spent more time talking about how Gomez had a future as a candidate than they did about Markey’s future as a senator.
Some people are so desperate for a Mass. Republican who can survive two months without coming across as a fool it’s ridiculous.
…accused Markey of ignoring Gomez in his victory speech, which of course is untrue, Markey acknowledged Gomez within moments of beginning his speech. Jim Braude pointed out that they were talking to each other as the speech began, so yeah, if you didn’t pay attention, it would have been easy to miss!
Not always my favorite but I think Jim spent much of his time on the panel last night fighting the urge to roll his eyes.
They give honorary degrees to anyone these days.
